Download Digital Pictures to Laptop Computers
Digital cameras are remarkable tools, allowing you to use your hard drive to save precious memories of your family and friends. Moving your digital photos from your camera to a laptop (or other hard drive) is a must, as the on-board memory on most cameras is not nearly sufficient to store an entire photo album. Fortunately, camera manufacturers design most cameras with this in mind, allowing for quick and easy connections to the USB port on the side of your laptop computer.
Instructions
1. Plug the included USB cable into the side of your camera, and the other side of the cable into an available USB port on your laptop computer. The computer should immediately recognize that a device has been connected, which can be seen by the small icon that will appear in the lower right-hand side of the screen.
2. Navigate to Windows Explorer to find your pictures on the camera. Go to the "Start" menu, then to the "All Programs" list, then to "Accessories."
3. Click on the "Computer" icon in Windows Explorer to find all devices attached to your machine. You will see your camera in that list, so click on it to bring up a list of the pictures contained therein.
4. Highlight, drag, and drop the files and photos you wish to move from your digital camera to your laptop.
